the dad in the back with his son..how cute ❤

I'm a Pianist, don't get me wrong I love children, however, there is nothing more annoying than banging on keys when someone else is playing.

The dad and his baby were so cutee

The man in the back, swaying with the child, just warmed my heart and made my day 1000 times better!😍

The beautiful piano playing duo + the dad dancing with his son in the background = pure happiness

I am loving the father swaying or dancing with his son at the background when the two performers are playing. It’s such a nice sight ❤️❤️👍👍

Dad dancing with his child is just pure 😫

Me getting mad about the kids playing with the other piana

Someone be a parent and tell those kids to stop hitting the damn keys on the other pianos!

My name is Justin Romanowich, I am the man playing in the video. Hi there! THANK YOU to all who have viewed, shared- and LISTENED. Those who are receptive to it? You all "get it". The father dancing with his child- oh! That is my favorite part. I have intentionally remained anonymous to this point; it is now the perfect time to introduce myself. The beautiful comments- are literally breathtaking, again- I personally thank ALL of you. And? I am now going to share something else with this community. Read on, please: I had no idea the video was even being recorded until AFTER the "High Ten", yeah? Here's how it went down: A smiling lady approached me while I was playing in Torrance, CA. Classically trained, and extremely talented- dedicated. You can all see / hear that, the comments reflect that fact. So... we decided on a song that we both knew by heart, Adele's "Someone Like You". It... just "flowed", organically- naturally. So grateful for the experience! I mean REALLY. Her man was recording the moment, glad he did so. I was hoping that it would get maybe get uploaded, and others could check it out, too. As of right now, over 9.4 MILLION hits?? That's just wild! Views are growing by an average of 15-20k a day. Radical. The comments... show the entire gamut of human emotion. The elegant and kind, and the absolutely deplorable; you know who you are. Ignorance and prejudice- never shows much reason. It is an indicator of stupidity. Why do I say this? WHAT NONE OF YOU KNOW (and this is long overdue- hear me??!!)... In the video, the camera shot ONLY the pianos on the *right-hand side* of the display. There were TWELVE pianos there, yeah? SHAME on all who said those awful things about those two BEAUTIFUL young girls- the ones in the purple shirts. I MUST defend them!! True- there WERE several children who were prompted to jam along with us that day. Love it! I love it every time; I... ENCOURAGE it. HOWEVER!! ...the other piano notes being played- were by the SUPERVISED *OTHER* kids, on the OPPOSITE side of the piano display- you all can not see the other pianos [in this video] but- yeah- there are always 11-13 instruments in the piano roadshow. Both ACOUSTIC and DIGITAL. Because I have been doing this for YEARS, I always unplug the digitals on a busy day- to prevent any banging at a volume level of "eleven". It's cool, yo- part of the job! Yes, the girls in purple- you can see [one of them] pressing down on that hybrid piano (looks acoustic, but is DIGITAL- it made NO sound.) The kids that WERE adding their embellishments? WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE, OUT OF YOUR VIEW; ON THE UPRIGHT ACOUSTIC PIANOS- (here's the "zinger") those kids... NOT the innocent girls in the purple, no- the other kids that were actually WITH their "parent(s) / legal guardian(s)". Said "parents" let those OTHER kids- have free reign upon the other instruments- the ones you can not SEE, but you hear it. So- that's it. FACT. You (the bullies!!) were terribly wrong in your grotesque assumption. I, for one- forgive you. If those girls read THIS comment- and I hope that it finds its way to them- I personally am sorry. I know, because I was THERE- that it was not either one of you- I weep (even right now) about the horrible comments directed towards you, and your family. I am glad you came over that day- I hope you both go on to do your VERY BEST in life! You certainly showed wonder & curiosity- about the arts, music- I bet you dance, or paint- sports; or sing- play an instrument?? For sure- you both are creative- keep that close, dear hearts. You are as important as the wind, and the sand- and the stars... You have a RIGHT TO BE HERE!!!!!!! That's enough for now. I love the awesome comments- keep those COMING!! Yay! This world... is still a lovely place. This world... is what WE make of it. Check out: "Justin Romanowich" (find me on CDbaby)- I just completed a Studio Recording of THIS (Someone Like You) song- sans the noisy shopping carts, etc.. and matched our (the lady and I) notes and performance as closely as possible. I changed TWO things- the pianos used in the STUDIO VERSION, were a modeled Steinway D Grand Piano, and a Modartt K2 Grand. Sounds fantastic- I owe Costco a debt of gratitude- for this; and all the *good* times... Thank you for reading. I LOVE EVERYBODY Sincerely, Justin R. Romanowich

The guy in the background watching with his baby is so pure!

I would have PAID, yes I said PAID to see this live and the people who were there save for a very precious few couldn't even take a few minutes off of their day to enjoy the beauty of the moment. Kudos to the father and son dancing duo - what a nice memory to make together.

the father taking the time to let his kid listen and dance with him in his arms. Subtle, yet profound at the same time. Kudo's to you sir! even if you didnt realize it at the time, these are the important things in life. well done.

The guy in the background dancing with his baby though 😭

The disrespect from the parents not getting their children to stop smashing the goddamn keys

I too was distracted by the children playing random notes, but think of the excitement it probably brought them to think they were contributing to the music. I hope it encouraged them to learn a musical instrument.

I barely see any comments talking about how the girl moved with such passion and made the music sound much more beautiful. She played amazingly, and so did the man.

Lol I love the dancing dad holding his son at the back

The man with the kid in the background is precious♥

That girl obviously has a passion for the piano. She has such elegance.

Two people from completely different backgrounds bonding through music while a dad dances with his son in the background? Wholesome shit man

The passion for music in the girl was incredible - could feel that shit Loved this! Thanks for sharing

the dad dancing with his kid in the background 😭

This will always remind me of the best piano teacher and inspirer to all that knew her. Jennifer McCormick! She just died of cancer. She was the inspiration and love and the wind beneath everyones wings no matter their pursuits in life. I love her forever for the forever love she gave to everyone! This video is definitely inspirational and these two performers have no idea how much what they did means to a lot of people. Yes, including the children that input a little bit of disharmony in the name of just wanting so much to partake of something so beautiful.

Why doesn’t this happen at my Costco

The man in the back dancing with his baby is so cute 😍😍😍😍😭😭

The guy dancing with his baby made my day 🥰🥰🥰

Watching this in 2020. Crying because I'm not sure we'll ever have normal life again. I miss the old normal. I hate the new "normal".

I was so touched that the dad standing behind immerse themselves in the flow of melody instead of pulling out a phone and starts recording. Sometimes you just need to stop and take a moment to admire all the beautiful things you take for granted every day.

I find it so absolutely disappointing that these two amazing people are allowing themselves to be so vulnerable and share such a beautiful gift with a building full of strangers and nobody can be bothered to take a moment to stop and listen except for this lovely man who's dancing with his son.

I have watched this over 100 times and each time I like it even more

1:37 The dad in the background is truly beautiful

For two complete strangers to not only play so brilliantly, but to intuit when the other was the melody and the one who filled in the base line AND the accompaniment...absolutely STUNNING! A shame that those whom walked by , had little or no appreciation of the talent that lay in front of their very eyes.

People are talking about how the kids are playing the other pianos, but honestly, I really doubt that these two hear them. When I'm performing someone could be screaming and I wouldn't notice.

The dad in the background dancing with his daughter was special. We need more dad's like you!

This is beautiful, but I just love the way the random guy in the background is dancing with his baby boy.

The kids playing the piano where annoying and messing it up but it was still amazing regardless

That woman was so passionate about just that song, I can only imagine how passionate she is about music in general. Both the man and woman are very talented...but I swear those kids are making me tRiGgErEd

The father dancing with his son🥺

idk what I was expecting them to play, but I love that they chose this song! Edit: Look at the daddy and kiddo dancing on the right! Cuuute!

Besides the two very talented people playing the man with his kid was awesome. I can't believe all the others just walking by...

I can't even relate to people who could just walk by and not stop to listen. Beautiful.

lets give that man a raise

This is why music education is important. Clearly everyone is drawn to it. It unites, inspires and puts us in touch with our emotions.

Beautiful and great talent!! Just wish parents of those disruptive kids had made their children more appreciative of the beautiful music!!

Someone needed to get those kids away from the other piano

I remember when at Costco one time, many years ago they were selling these baby Grands Pianos. My Sister-In-Law who is a Master Pianist played the Beethoven Moomlight Sonata and finished with "Flight of the Bumble Bee", I swear everyone in Costco was surrounding her to watch this masterpiece be played in front of them. Many had said they had never heard it live before. It was so beautiful I saw people with tears in their eyes, even for myself, It was so powerful, I too got emotional.

Love the impromptu-ness of this and the innocence of the children playing in the background. The whole event showcases the beauty in the every day alongside our daily flaws & humanity. 👍👍🏾

Man this is why I love piano improv, you can just have a conversation with music 😍😂

The man dancing with his son shows that the world can be a really kind place 💕

I just found this video , it’s breath taking when two people never play together and this happen, just beautiful !!! About the children... they were very amazed about playing, they were watching the whole time, and trying to “try” to do the same. The pianists did not loose focus on the extra notes !!! I just wish the parents of the children enrol them on piano. A lot of people try to put the parents down, but you know what ? Those kids would never forget this moment, they will talk forever... remember that time we went to Costco and there was two people playing....💐💐💐💐

The dad dancing with his baby in the back honestly just hit me in the feels ㅠㅠ 💜✨

The dad dancing in the back with his son made my day❤

Why doesn’t that happen when I’m at Costco? That was outstanding!

The kids are just being kids....it doesn't distract from the beautiful piano playing. Fab!

This is a testament that music can put differences aside and bind people together.

The dad rocking his baby

sounded great except the little kids playing the other piano (off camera) ruin the session.

It amazes me how people can just walk by and not give pause for this wonderful talent and beauty, I could listen to this for hours, please, you talented and gracious artists, please continue and thank you for giving us all a true treasure!!

Why everyone is not stopping to enjoy this slice of heavenly beauty is beyond me. I would NEVER be in such a hurry to spend money that I couldn’t spare just a few minutes to appreciate these lovely sounds, not to mention the talent!

That guy and his son dancing in the background are precious XD

There Are Sooo Many People That Need To Pump The Brakes For A Few Minutes & Take In The Beauty Around Them!! The Dad In The Back Gets It!!

Oh Piano girl, you made made my day, and I am in my 60's you are so talented. I loved the spontaneity, and the partnership of two great Piano players, yet was also troubled that most folks just walked by. Music and singing always sound better in person. I mean this this with the utmost respect ❤️ you. just keep it going!

Wow. I could listen to that all day, kids included

When people just walk away and ignore this it’s astounding. But if a fight broke out everyone woulda been recording.

the dad? dancing with his child was just adorable T_T

I love seeing the dad dancing with his little one in the background enjoying the music. ❤️🎶🎹

if someone joined in and sang the song, this would be such a beautiful scene (even though it already is)

This same thing happened to me in a Florida Costco 10 years ago, when my son was two. A guy sat down at the grand piano on display and played a gorgeous rendition of "All I Ask of You" from Phantom of the Opera. I held my son in my arms and danced with him, full-on ballroom style, while the man played. One of the most beautiful memories I have....thanks, piano man. Stuff like this is AWESOME.

Could someone come get their kids playing in the background

As a kid, you rarely appreciate the potential joy and skill you could achieve if you stick with practicing an instrument. It's usually about mom and/or dad making you practice. Then you become an adult, see something like this video, and are either happy you stuck with it or regretful you didn't. Ok, maybe not everyone, but I think most people. I love this video. Good work and thank you for posting! :)

i think the best part is the dad dancing with his baby !!😍

There's something powerful about two complete strangers making music together. She didn't even know his name! I bet that made a lot of people feel happy. I guess there is some good left in the world after all! 😃

Dancing dad and baby are the cutest things in the background!

WOW! That was sooooo amazing. I cannot believe very few people took the opportunity to enjoy such a magical moment where 2 strangers were completely in sync to deliver beautiful song.

Wait, youre telling me costco has PIANOS?! As someome living in england: wtf

this video sadly portrays how few appreciate those that work so hard to provide the joyous sound of making music

Props to the dad in the background dancing with his child :) all around an awesome moment ❤️

1:20 holy heck I thought those were his eyebrows

It’s moments like this, that life is all about. And I can’t believe how people sometimes live in a bubble, letting moments like this pass unenjoyed . The pianists, the dad dancing with his child. Unplanned and improvised, but truly amazing 💖

I love how the security guard was like i wanna watch them play the paino but i need to look out for people trying to steal somethin xd

Imagine some other person came and started singing with them. That would have been awesome.

Amazing! So beautiful to watch.... loved loved loved the dad dancing with his son in the background.....

Absolutely incredible, I would have given anything to hear that beautiful piece being played in person! A special thank you to the 2 fantastic pianists, and to the person that uploaded this for all of us to hear...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Beautiful. Each of those people who passed by were blessed to be in the presence of such beauty. While the initial extra notes from the children distracted they soon became part of the innate beauty of the music itself. Thank you for sharing.

I don’t know how ppl can walk by and not appreciate the beauty of this in front of them.

I love coming back to this video again after so long & I love that father with his child along with the smile the elderly women in the back. This is such a beautiful video with two wonderful musicians.

So many people walk by not taking the time to enjoy such a beautiful moment, the man with the boy he gets it. Thank you for sharing

...and then something wonderful happened at the local Costco.

What a marvelous moment between two musicians and between them and the listeners. Thank you for sharing the moment with the rest of the world.

Absolutely love kids, love kids playing and having fun, and I realize that they heard the beautiful music and thought that they wanted to try too, but please restrain your kids for a moment to let these people finish playing. Ask them if they can show your kids something simple afterwards, let them play all they want afterwards, but it's important to respect other people and not play over them!

Now that's an awesome dad in the back, appreciating a special moment with his kid. Sad how so many others just walked pass an incredible moment.

Control your children for 3 minutes and 13 seconds at least people.

Man that kid in the background off camera wrecked it for me. It was beautiful except for that.

How could people just walk by? This music was priceless and worth so much more than what was in their carts!

So beautiful!! This is how our world should be. To strangers with the same passion .

Wtf Costco has pianos? I’ve never seen a piano any any Costco that I have shopped at in MI and NC

moments like these are just so beautiful, crazy how some people can just walk pass without noticing such beauty.

Pretty awesome that the piano salesman is actually a talented player. It's really nice to see when people actually love the thing they're selling.

Sometimes u wonder where the parents are of some kids they just let run around. When truly they are missing out on such a gift. Sometimes u have to pause to really take in the gift given. Like this father with his child. Bravo.
